I'VE TO show how it is done
About year ago young
beef baron of Forsyth, a
Yhttown a few miles west of
~ mbail is his name), re-
Bd who was going East to
up Sung lady with whom he
int correspond with a view TO matri-
L. The friend interested himself in
lips behalf, and secured Miss
A. Rhodes, OF Huntingdon, Pa,
kspondent, and letters were ex-
well as photographs. After
3 correspondence, and although
IS Rhodes and Mr.. Klmball had never
each other, they agreed to marry,
Kimball sent Miss Rhodes money
Bugh to carry her to Bismarck, OAK,
here he promised to meet her. She left
Huntingdon Oct. % last, arrived at Bis
Aarck, where Kimbail was waiting for
yher, and the two came on to Miles City,
4 where they were married Oct. 30 by the
ARev. Mr.. Snyder. All of their counting
Mad been done by letter.
~ The above Is a novel and interesting
Ecase, ard is true IN every particular. And
yet all the girls who come to this wide
awake country do not get married. Many
of them would not have man for love or
money; and they are right, too, for those
very same independent young damsels
soon learn to rustic for themselves, and
before many days find themselves prop
erty holders, voters, judges OF election,
school teachers, sheep or cattle queens,
tend actually candidates for political Of
lpgces. All OF these things have happened
eNght here in Montana. In nearly every
= unty at the last election young ladies'
4re running on the Republican,
or Independent ticket
2epT County uperintendents of
#fshools; and in at least nine cases
Eslt OF ten, whatever their political COM
Efexions, the girls were voted in. At the
,Hst election over at Spokane Falls two
women in each ward were chosen to act
as judges OF election, and in every in
stance was the duty well performed, and
to the credit of the sex. Yet the mixing
up OF females with male jurors is not so
pleasant after all fol. all hands as it might
be: still, in our neighboring Territory it
seems to work very we'll. The last cleo
lions. all admit, were extremely orderly,
tine presence OF women at the polls tended
to-prevent drunkenness and disorder.
A male grumb bier charges them while on
Jury duty with not following the evil
dence closely, nor of properly appreciat-
ing the relations of facts to conclusions"
Sometimes pretty lady juror will firt
with the lawyers and thus disturb the
traditional dullness OF the court room.
Then there Is a class of cases in which
the evidence is unfit for refined women to
listen TO. Inconvenience also arise from
the difference OF sex. Female bailiffs
have to be appointed. 1t seems hardly
considerate or proper to lock up the wo-
men Jurors in the same room with the
men, and keep them there together over
night to force an agreement on
AZ verdict, but The law permits
70 separation. To boil it down,
Fall the ladies would like to be excused
from Jury duty if it would not affect their
right to vote. The words OF Judge Win
gard OF Washington territory may be
tsken as q fair sample of the manner in
which lady jurors are regarded In that
territory by the solons OF the law. The
grand jury nire being exhausted and
the panel rot filled. Judge Vineyard turn
ed to Sheriff Thompson and ordered that
official ITO bring Into court three we'll
tried and true citizens Of Walla Walla or
Franklin county, and II you can't get
good and reliable men get good and reli-
able women. l would much rather have
good woman on the jury than the aver
age juryman picked up on a special
3venire. We have been hampered with
gtoo many scrubby iurymen."
Going from politics TO farming, il Is
astonishing what grit and endurance
some OF these girls reared in the States
can exhibit when put to the test. A Mon
tana matron OF 80 summers rode on horse
back into Livingston last week, did her
trading, and returned to berTanch, riding
fully 100 miles, alone and unattended.
The Winchester that hung at her saddle
showed that she was prepared for defense
IL necessary. and inquiry developed the
